[Verse 1]
I've got seven weeks in County
But I won’t blame The Man
I've won and lost some poker chips
But don't blame the hand

[Chorus]
My only enemy
Is out to get me
To make me pay for what I’ve done
He's out to catch me
And he's on the trail to find me
Sure as hell he'll whip me when he does

[Verse 2]
It's been seven years of famine
But I never blamed the land
Just give me peace and quiet, Boss
I'll take it where I can

[Chorus]
My only enemy
Is out to get me
To make me pay for what I've done
He's out to catch me
On the trail to find me
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does
[Verse 3]
There’s a hunger in my belly
And a pounding in my head
The buzzards turn impatiently
Expecting I'll be dead

[Chorus]
My only enemy
Is out to get me
To make me pay for what I’ve done
He's out to catch me
On the trail to find me
Sure as hell he'll whip me when he does

[Verse 4]
Desert sun is burning high above
My shadow can't find shade
I bought seven weeks in County
To lay in this bed I made

[Chorus]
My only enemy
Is out to get me
To make me pay for what I’ve done
He's out to catch me
On the trail to find me
Sure as hell he'll whip me when he does
[Verse 5]
Each day I see his evil eyes
The man who put me here
I see him when I shave my face
So guilty in the mirror

[Chorus]
My only enemy
Is out to get me
To make me pay for what I've done
He's out to catch me
On the trail to find me
Sure as hell he'll whip me when he does

[Outro]
Looking back disgusted
With a hollow hateful stare
For seven weeks in County
And for always, everywhere
